Barkov wants minimal if any part of get

WINNIPEG Shayne Gostisbehere Jersey , Manitoba (AP) — Joe Pavelski knows the San Jose Sharks caught a break at the right time.The Sharks were short-handed for a second time in overtime against Winnipeg on Tuesday night, and then Jets forward Patrik Laine had the puck knocked away by San Jose defenseman Brent Burns.Burns passed the puck to Pavelski, who fired the winning shot over Connor Hellebuyck’s glove at 2:49 of the extra period to give the Sharks a 3-2 victory.“We get a turnover on the (penalty kill) there in overtime and we were able to finally catch them,” said Pavelski, who scored his 29th goal of the season and added an assist.Logan Couture and Marcus Sorensen also scored for San Jose. Couture extended his point streak to four games, with three goals and three assists.Kevin Labanc contributed a pair of assists and Martin Jones stopped 25 shots for the Sharks, who won their third straight to start a four-game trip.Blake Wheeler and Mathieu Perreault scored for the Jets, and Hellebuyck made 35 saves. Winnipeg had its three-game winning streak halted and its run of seven consecutive victories at home stopped.“(Hellebuyck) made some unbelievable saves tonight to give us a chance,” Wheeler said. “That was a nice shot (by Pavelski).”Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer had high praise for the winning play.“The pass Burnsy gave to Pavelski was world class, and it was a rocket,” DeBoer said. “And the way Pav handled it and stuck it in the net was world class, so that’s what great players do.”Winnipeg had a power-play goal by Mark Scheifele wiped out midway through the second after Boer successfully challenged for offside. It would have given Winnipeg a 3-1 lead.“Obviously, getting the goal called back hurt,” Wheeler said. “That’s the difference in the game right there.”Perreault’s 11th goal of the season, and 300th NHL point, gave Winnipeg the 2-1 lead 52 seconds into the second. Tyler Myers picked up an assist, extending his point streak to four games, with one goal and three assists.Sorensen’s 11th of the season tied it at 2:35 of the third when he flipped a puck bouncing in the crease into the net.Winnipeg got its fourth man advantage with 1:35 remaining in regulation and carried it over into overtime. Soon after it was over, the Sharks were called for too many men 1:20 into the extra time.Jets head coach Paul Maurice Andrej Sustr Jersey Womens , 52, reached a milestone by becoming the youngest coach in NHL history to hit 1,500 games (682 wins), and the sixth coach to achieve the mark.“It was a nice lead-up to the game,” Maurice said. “I got an awful lot of texts from close friends and people around the league, so I appreciated that a lot.”Maurice had no update on defenseman Josh Morrissey, who was hit in the leg with shot in the first period. He returned briefly to skate around just before the second period began, but left and didn’t return.NOTES: The Sharks were 1 for 3 on the power play and the Jets 0 for 5. … Maurice and San Jose head coach Peter DeBoer go back a long way. Maurice was a second-year head coach for a Detroit junior team in 1994 and DeBoer was his first-time assistant. DeBoer was coaching his 300th game for the Sharks on Tuesday and 794th overall NHL game.UP NEXTSharks: At Calgary on Thursday.Jets: Open a three-game trip in Montreal on Thursday. SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Ask Florida forward Vincent Trocheck who the best three players in the NHL are right now, and the first two names he offers wouldn’t surprise anyone.The third might.Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby would almost certainly be on everybody’s list, so he was an easy pick by Trocheck. Same goes for Edmonton’s Connor McDavid, the NHL’s two-time reigning scoring champion and brightest young star. But that third name is of somebody that the casual hockey fan still might not know, and that’s something the Panthers are determined to change this season.Yes, Florida thinks Aleksander Barkov is elite. The Panthers’ hopes rest on being right.“He’s been that good,” Trocheck said. “It’s just a matter of people starting to realize it now.”Barkov led the Panthers with 78 points last season, three more than Trocheck. He went to the All-Star Game Star for the first time, led the league with five shorthanded goals, tied for fourth in the NHL with eight gamewinning goals. And he showed the Panthers enough growth that the team decided it was time to make the 23-year-old Finnish center their captain starting this season.It’s his team now, without question.“I tell you what http://www.flyersshoponline.com/authentic-nolan-patrick-jersey , man, he’s probably the most complete player I’ve ever played with,” Florida goalie Roberto Luongo said. “Both ends of the rink, he’s so smart, so strong, always in great position. I’ve played with some great players, but the fact that he’s so good offensively and responsible defensively in his own zone, it’s hard to find guys like that.”Consider the magnitude of Luongo’s statement — “the most complete player” — for a second.Luongo has played with some serious greats: Pavel Bure, Joe Nieuwendyk, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Mats Sundin, Ryan Kesler and Jaromir Jagr among them in the NHL, say nothing of the absurdly loaded teams he’s been part of representing Canada at the Olympics.He insists it’s not just current-teammate favoritism. Barkov is that good, fueled in large part by the lessons he learned by playing with Jagr.“Jags was a big part of that,” Luongo said. “When Jags was here he kind of took him under his wing a little bit, with workouts, coming to skate with him at night, all that kind of stuff. I think it plays a huge role in his taking the next step as far as dominating and being the player he is today.”So Barkov is Florida’s star.He’s not a reluctant star. He’s just reluctant to talk about being said star.Florida doesn’t get on national television often http://www.flyersshoponline.com/authentic-travis-konecny-jersey , has been to the playoffs only once in Barkov’s five seasons and hasn’t won a playoff series since he was 9 months old. That creates an ironic situation — the Panthers want more people to know who Barkov is, and Barkov wants minimal if any part of getting additional attention.“All I want to think about is going on the ice, help the team to win, score goals and play defense and not to get scored on,” said Barkov, who should contend for the Selke Trophy — presented to the NHL’s best defensive forward. “I don’t really want to think about where I stand in the Selke ratings or whatever. Of course, that would be nice to win that one day, but all I want is to make the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup.”When told about how effusive Luongo was in his praise, Barkov shrugged.“Lu can joke sometimes,” Barkov said.It was then made clear to Barkov that Luongo was serious, as was Trocheck. Finally, almost grudgingly, Barkov accepted their sentiments.“I’m happy to hear that from them,” Barkov said. “All I want to do is help Lu and help Troch. I’m really happy to be with them on this team.”Florida missed the playoffs by a point last season, and a team that has touted itself as young and building knows it’s at the point where it’s time to take the next step.The Panthers are certain that Barkov can get them there.“Honestly, I think he has another level,” Luongo said. “It’s kind of scary to think about that.”
